I first visited Red at his Brynmawr office in January 2002, upon my retirement and wanted advice on savings and investments. On our first meeting we thoroughly discussed my requirements and the type of investment that best suited me. Because of the recession, I have needed to visit him at regular intervals to amend various plans to protect my investments and improve the returns where possible. Whenever I have met him, our discussions have been very thorough and open, always ready to listen to my ideas, and advise me if I was wrong, and each time his humour and friendly approach has made me feel very much at ease.

MMy wife and I have known Red Shaw personally, - and as our Financial Advisor. - for more than a dozen years. During this time our relationship has developed from respect for his personal abilities to friendship and trust - based on an appreciation of Red's scrupulous respect for his responsibilities to his clients and his administrative flair . We have been impressed by his highly ethical approach to these responsibilities.

Red Shaw has been my Financial Adviser since he first became independent, some fifteen years or so ago. During this period I have found Red to be thorough and incisive, and time has proved his advice to be appropriate and well judged. Red has always taken time to clearly identify my financial goals, and encouraged me to consider the consequences on other aspects of my financial position before proposing any strategy or product to achieve my aims.

I was introduced to Red about five years ago, (2005 ) as a retired company director I needed help and advise regarding a company pension my late husband had set up for me. Red has consistently offered sound and appropriate financial advice listening to my needs and circumstances. I can now plan for my future knowing my investments are being closely monitored by Red.

So I've been delighted to be able to delegate to Red responsibility for the management of our savings. He, despite exceedingly choppy waters, has successfully navigated the frail craft of our pensions, steering clear of the sharks of exploitative commerce without it being sucked down into the whirlpool of negligent bankers.
